@AquaShotsMedia Most non-Russian hockey players are in full agreement with banning Russia from the tournament.

@TomasZdechovsky Russian people are mostly fine but have been poorly led and betrayed by their government.

@Gabadadi @CompleteHkyNews Where is the irony? Completely different situations. The Soviet Union was able to compete in international competitions but the Olympics didn’t allow professionals so it was an event that allowed best-on-best. There was no war at the time.

@CdnxTracker An easier solution would be for Russia to withdraw their troops from Ukraine

[Сameron 🇺🇦🇨🇦 @CD_Prior]

@Gabadadi It was an 8-game series

[Сameron 🇺🇦🇨🇦 @CD_Prior]

@Gabadadi @CompleteHkyNews Not really comparable to now as it was a tournament with Canadians professionals vs Soviets who were not allowed to play professionally outside of the Soviet Union. The only chance the rest of the world could see those players was in international competition.

@Gabadadi @CompleteHkyNews Great event!

@Bill54555213 Better to rank your opinions based on humanity first and hockey fandom second.

@SuperKennyMac @IIHFHockey It isn’t just the Canadian PM though. It is the IIHF, Fifa, Fiba, IOC and most developed countries immune to Russian influence peddling. If Russia were allowed to participate, at least 6 other nations would withdraw. It isn’t discrimination. It is a statement.

@zpaikin Happy to take as many young Russian hockey players as possible as it ensures they won’t be next week’s drone fodder. Participating in a global tournament as Russia however, is an absolute no. Shocked by how many people think that should be allowed.

[Сameron 🇺🇦🇨🇦 @CD_Prior]

@zpaikin Not the same thing at all

[Сameron 🇺🇦🇨🇦 @CD_Prior]

@Sulkhan Not the hockey world, the entire world minus Iran and China is against Russia on this.

@BenSteiner00 Compared to an average soccer game, fan chants at nhl games are cringeworthy at best and more often directed by scoreboard commands.

@SKC_James_ Hard to imagine St. Louis losing to LAFC at home. Portland has been among the best in the league the past 10 games and will push Dallas. San Jose and Houston is a coin flip with the edge to SJ. Vancouver wins the west in a cake walk regardless of who they face.

@stevenmorgan611 @SKC_James_ Quakes are much better with Tsakiris back but still no where near where they were pre-world cup.

[Сameron 🇺🇦🇨🇦 @CD_Prior]

@BrianB5000 @SunGarrioch It isn’t a left vs right thing. Most people are in agreement on this including the IIHF which had banned them until CAS said they couldn’t. Since most countries refuse to play against Russia, it would be a shit tournament if they were included.

[Сameron 🇺🇦🇨🇦 @CD_Prior]

@SunGarrioch Then maybe Russia should listen to the fans and end their war against Ukraine.

@ManagerTactical The US soccer gets better if they play more meaningful games against quality opposition. MLS has helped Canada get better and as a result, it has helped the US. USMNT can’t cruise through North American competitions anymore waiting until they see Mexico in a final.

@GCM1979 CanPl will grow when it gets more investment. It’s highly unlikely that the current owners of the Whitecaps and CF Montreal will suddenly want to invest in the CanPl and without big money behind them, the Whitecaps and Montreal are just 2 more teams struggling.
